Atmospheric outfit ARCHIVE, announce new album of re-recorded classics

South London collective Archive round off their 25^th anniversary celebrations with an album of reimagined versions of some of their best-loved songs.

The album, Versions is set for release worldwide on Dangervisit, through [PIAS] on August 28^th.

Produced by Archive and mixed by long time collaborator Jerome Devoise, the album follows-up 2019’s career spanning six-LP box set “25” and accompanying tour, which saw the band play a mammoth 53 cities across 16 European countries, playing to sold-out crowds everywhere they went. 

Talking about the Versions album, Archive founding member Darius Keeler said: “We wanted to bring our 25th anniversary celebrations to a close by revisiting some of our favourite Archive songs and reimagining new versions of them. We wanted to put a creative full stop at the end of the celebrations, something new and fresh, and this felt like the best way of doing it”

The album is preceded by first single Nothing Else (Version) on May 12^th, featuring vocals by Holly Martin.

Talking about the single and video Keeler said: “Nothing Else captures the mood of the album beautifully, it’s a track Holly really enjoyed performing live on the last tour, and the video perfectly represents the sense of exploration that’s always been a key part of Archive’s music”.
